The FBi SMAC Awards are just around the corner and for the first time ever it's free entry to the public.
It's being hosted on Thursday the 10th of November at the Powerhouse in Ultimo, with live performances from Kobie Dee, Milan Ring, Optic Nerve and FBi Radio DJs.
The ten different categories featured in the SMAC Awards cover the vast amount of talent in the state's music, arts, and cultural scenes, highlighting the cream of the crop and giving these artists and creatives the recognition they deserve. Starting in 2008, the FBi SMAC Awards have grown to become the ultimate tastemaker, unearthing a plethora of local talent who are now representing Australia on an international level.
